GIS
is an acronym for Geographic Information Systems or in terms of county government - Geographic Information Services. Most people associate GIS with maps, but there is so much more involved. The links below should assist you with a couple third party applications, forms for requesting GIS data or addresses, as well as a couple maps in Adobe pdf format. Please use the contact information to the left if you have additional questions.
The GIS Department is working to provide more resources to public and county users. Please recognize that these links are a work in progress and will be changing over time.
